Bury this?

OH my sweet summer child.

Fox news will pump in constantly how the liberal media hacked a classified government communications channel to sabotage our brave men in uniform.

Yeah, the cheap cables they provide are often only vcc and gnd with the data pair shorted in the plug.

Trying to use a normal plug confuses the controller.

This bothers me more than literally anyone, however as an ee I do feel obligated to explain their crime against humanity.

The usb pd charge negotiation chip costs between $.50 and $3, cheaper for low current, like 12-18w, more expensive for 100w, also those tend to have more logic including battery management and even integrated buck converters.

Still unacceptable by any standards, but there are software aspects like debugging how the different charge and power modes work together, etc.

Largely it's inertia, buying a power brick and just putting a 19v is tried And tested, even though 20v is basically the exact same except for the pd negotiation.

The cheap ones assume you use the same cable that came with it, which are generally 2 wire only and have the resistor in the plug.

Auschwitz was the site of a bad commercial real-estate deal.

2 or 5.

5 because it's convenient and a Swiss army knife of pens.

2 because sometimes you just gotta shank a bitch.

The 3rd season of Matt Smith started with a massive, expensive orgy of CGI.

The season before had some foreboding, they were clearly trying to pander more to Americans, but s3 was when they completely fell off the plot.

Tennant was generally great with a few weak episodes, but after that everything just had this smear of 'well it's expensive to produce , so the writing must be good!'
